Meet the Owner: Eric Carnes – The Man Behind The Flash

Hi, I’m Eric Carnes, proud owner of The Flash Electric and your friendly neighborhood master of volts, amps, and heroic service! I’m 43 years old with 25 years of hands-on electrical experience, and while I’ve worked in the electrical trade for most of my life, it was the chaos of COVID-19 that sparked the launch of this super-powered business.

When the world slowed down, homeowners stayed home—and they started noticing all the buzzing outlets, flickering lights, and electrical upgrades they had been putting off. That’s when the calls came pouring in… and The Flash Electric was born.

I didn’t just want to be another electrician. I wanted to build a company with a reputation that lit up the community—a business known for fast response times, fearless solutions, and customer service that’s shockingly good. And that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Today, The Flash Electric is growing faster than a lightning bolt, proudly serving homeowners and business owners throughout Athens, GA and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a panel upgrade, a whole house surge protector, or installing a standby generator before the next big storm, I’m here to make sure your electrical system is safe, modern, and built to last.

I truly believe in doing the job right the first time, treating customers like family, and bringing integrity to every wire, switch, and breaker. Helping people isn’t just a job—it’s my passion.

So if you’re looking for a hero in high-voltage, someone who shows up, follows through, and stands behind their work with a lifetime workmanship warranty—then I’m your guy.

Let’s light up your home or business the right way.
